Hi,
We currently have 5 POL offices that test and result Urine Protein by dipstick method and manual entry. I am looking to bring in dipstick readers that can be interfaced. Recommendations for waived or moderately complex instruments/readers appreciated.
Thanks!

The most common POC-based analyzer by far for this type of testing is a Clinitek STATUS (CLIA waived) which can accommodate both full size test strips and half size test strips for limited testing. Easy to interface with most common middleware systems, where an operator database can also be built and sent to the devices remotely. Configuration is done directly on the analyzer when paired with the CONNECT base piece.
We use the Clinitek Status Connect for both dip UA's and pregnancy testing. We have used these for many years and they are sturdy instruments. Some we still have one in use from 2012 that is working great!
There are other options, although the Clinitek has the most features that we wanted (able to interface with Telcor, pregnancy testing available). One problem is the narrow humidity range--we often go below 18% in NM. And the fact that you need a base to interface, which is an additional cost. I am looking into a new device called Clarity Platinum; it doesn't need a base and connects to Telcor. I don't believe it does Pregnancy, though.
Thank you all! I am looking into both options.
